Toronto 1200 Bay (retail tenant fitout) | Tiffany & Co

Did I read that they are going to paint the building and replace the windows? Would they incorporate “tiffany blue” as a colour scheme?

 

[Mithras]

And also repainting the building tiffany blue from what I hear.

@Paclo

Do we want to use this thread for the re-clad of this building or set up another?

For now, I'll stick today's photo here. If you set up a new thread, feel free to copy them over.

Re-clad in full swing:

 

[everydayhim]

is there access to any public drawings that will show what this Tiffany re-clad will actually look like?

With the offices above the gutting still clearly in use, I can safely assume this is far as they're going with this?

 

[maestro]

The building's structure would interfere with a glassy look so they'll probably settle on a dynamic light show. White stone and Tiffany blue lentils would also be tasteful but boring conventional

 

[Rimawi]

Wish they would’ve redone the full building!

Wish they would’ve redone the full building!

It think the exterior could use a good power wash, it's looking fairly grimy, however I've always considered this one of the city's little mid century gems with its punched out window frames...

 

[C-mac]

So to be clear, this is now just going to get new cladding and the 326m tower is a dead issue correct?

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

^Status in the DB says it's cancelled currently. I am going to go with that.

 

[GenerationLee]

Yeah, I'm really unhappy with the way they're remodelling this building, it reminds me of the hackjob they did with the Yonge Eg Centre, but I expect better quality materials here given the client.
It's the same kind of thing where a brutalist (though more late modernist I suppose) building is being haphazardly redone, which is unfortunate.

 

[Vminkov]

Boo I love these iconic windows, this is gonna be such a loss

 

[GenerationLee]

Today (I wouldve grabbed a better pic, but I was in a rush)

@interchange42 and @Paclo: Anyway we can drop the story count, developer and architect here in the header as the original tower has been cancelled. Or should the Tiffany business be under its own thread here?

Edit/Update: Thanks to @interchange42 and @Paclo for taking care of that! /bows
